Question
given that $overline{ba}paralleloverline{ce}$, select which type of angle each pair below is and then tell whether the pair is congruent or supplementary.
(a) 7. $angle bae$ and $angle ced$
a. interior angles on the same side of the transversal; congruent
b. corresponding angles; congruent
c. alternate exterior angles; congruent
d. adjacent angles; congruent
e. alternate interior angles; congruent
- $angle abc$ and $angle bce$
a. interior angles on the same side of the transversal; supplementary
b. adjacent angles; supplementary
c. alternate exterior angles; congruent
d. corresponding angles; congruent
e. alternate interior angles; congruent
- $angle bce$ and $angle ecd$
a. adjacent angles (linear pair); supplementary
b. corresponding angles; supplementary
c. alternate exterior angles; congruent
d. interior angles on the same side of the transversal; supplementary
e. alternate interior angles; supplementary
Step1: Recall angle - pair relationships
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, different types of angle - pairs have specific properties.
Step2: Analyze \(\angle BAE\) and \(\angle CED\)
\(\overline{BA}\parallel\overline{CE}\) and \(AD\) is a transversal. \(\angle BAE\) and \(\angle CED\) are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles formed by two parallel lines and a transversal are congruent. So for \(\angle BAE\) and \(\angle CED\), they are corresponding angles; congruent.
Step3: Analyze \(\angle ABC\) and \(\angle BCE\)
\(\overline{BA}\parallel\overline{CE}\) and \(BC\) is a transversal. \(\angle ABC\) and \(\angle BCE\) are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles formed by two parallel lines and a transversal are congruent.
Step4: Analyze \(\angle BCE\) and \(\angle ECD\)
\(\angle BCE\) and \(\angle ECD\) share a common side \(CE\) and a common vertex \(C\), and they form a linear - pair (a straight - line \(BD\)). Adjacent angles that form a linear - pair are supplementary.
